Issue

Reports of vehicles parking on pavements in Wells and surrounding villages is being made to the Wells neighbourhood Police team on a regular basis.  Parking on pavements causes a number of problems to the local community;

  •  
    • It is a danger to pedestrians who may have to walk out onto the road to get by, especially if they have wheelchairs or pushchairs.
    • It damages the infrastructure by the weight of the vehicles on the paving slabs and also creating trip hazards.
    • It causes traffic flow issues by narrowing an already tight road which leads to traffic chaos.

    The neighbourhood team are asking motorists to be mindful when parking,
